Cheese and ham sandwiches, bacon rolls, sausage and mash - it's safe to say that pork is a key ingredient in the British diet. (For meat eaters, at least.)

But, tasty and hangover-curing as the above may be *high fives bacon roll*, this little piggy could do with a shake up.

We've teamed up top chefs to bring some tasty and inspiring pork recipes.

Enjoy.

Black Pudding Scotch Egg

Ingredients

6 Burford brown eggs

350g coarse sausage meat

150g black pudding, finely crumbled

20g flat leaf parsley chopped

Malden salt (to taste)

Milled pepper (to taste)

200g flour

2 eggs, beaten and let down with a little water

200g Penko bread crumbs

Method

Place all six eggs in to boiling, heavily-salted water and cook for 6 minutes before plunging into iced water till cold

Peel the eggs and leave on a cloth to dry for a few minutes

Mix the sausage meat, black pudding, parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl before weighing up into 70g balls

Taking a ball at a time, flatten in out in the palm of your hand keeping it as even as possible

Place the egg in the middle of the meat disc and gently enrobe the egg, making sure it the meat is sealed around it

Put each egg on a tray and put in the fridge so the meat firms up

Using 3 trays (one for flour, one for eggs and one for bread crumbs) roll the sausage-covered-egg first through the flour, dusting off any excess; then through the beaten egg (again, removing any excess) and then finally, through the bread crumbs, making sure it is evenly covered

Repeat this process so that each egg has been through the mixtures twice

Have a deep fat fryer set up in a safe place and running at a temp 180˚c

Gently place your balls into the frying basket, making sure not to over-crowd it

800g ground Old Spot pork shoulder or another good quality breed of pork

40g smoked bacon finely chopped

40g butter

1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon of Malden sea salt

2 good pinch of chilli powder

4 twists of freshly ground black pepper

Method

To make the patties, mix all of the ingredients together

Leave to set and infuse for 1 hour before cooking.

To finish

Mix the cooked pork with the BBQ sauce and warm it though in a pan.

Cook the streaky bacon until just crispy.

Cook the pork patties until the juice runs clear and then start to build the burgers.

Grill your bun that has been cut in half and place the cooked patty onto the bottom half, followed by the BBQ pork and then the tomato slice and coleslaw. Finally add the top of the bun and squeeze gently together.
